CURRENT MISSION

Possibly find the time to do something outside of medical school.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a medical student and will be done with school for a while. I work hard but I consider myself pretty relaxed and easygoing. I love the outdoors and enjoy any and all recreational activities like backpacking, caving, rock climbing, canoing, etc. I also love to travel and have been hiking in many of the national parks throughout the United States.

PHILOSOPHY

I only have one lifetime, and I'd better make the most of it. Live to take advantage of every opportunity and work to make a difference, however minor, in the world around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel and thought that the Couch Surfing project sounded fantastic. I'll likely be very busy with medical school for the next few years, but I'd like to participate as much as I can. Wherever I end up, I'm sure I'll have time for some lunch with anyone who's interested.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hope to start soon.

Interests

Outdoor adventure activities like hiking, caving, rock climbing. Music is one of my favorite ways to relax after a tough day.
